"We asked Microsoft to come up with a solution that challenged the previous conventions around what was possible with its display offering and we're confident this interactive campaign will excite and engage fans as they journey into the second film in the trilogy."

Peter Jackson's JRR Tolkien adaptation picks up from last year's An Unexpected Journey, following Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he continues his quest to help rid the Dwarven kingdom of the evil dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch).

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be released on December 13, with final film There and Back Again following in December 2014.

The 3D printer blueprint will be available on the day of the film's release.
